Ventilation and Respiration Quiz

What is the definition of ventilation in the context of exercise?

• Amount of air breathed in and out per breath

• Breaths per minute

• Amount of air breathed out per minute

• Amount of oxygen consumed per minute

How is ventilation (L/min) calculated?

• TV (L) + RR (br/min)

• TV (L) - RR (br/min)

• TV (L) x RR (br/min)

• TV (L) / RR (br/min)

What does Tidal Volume (TV) refer to?

• Breaths per minute

• Amount of air breathed in and out per breath

• Amount of air breathed out per minute

• Amount of oxygen consumed per minute

• 18-20 breaths/min

What is the typical respiration rate at rest?

• 12-15 breaths/min

• 20-25 breaths/min

• 35-50 breaths/min

• 5-10 breaths/min

What is the respiration rate during maximum exercise?

• 12-15 breaths/min

• 20-25 breaths/min

• 35-50 breaths/min

• 5-10 breaths/min

Can respiration rate be actively controlled?

• Yes

• No

• Only during exercise

• Only at rest

What happens to tidal volume (TV) with an increase in exercise intensity?

• It decreases

• It remains the same

• It increases

• It fluctuates
